We have scheduled an upgrade of our cloud hosting control panel server (https://vm.steadfast.net). This maintenance will upgrade the software to a new major version which fixes many bugs, adds new features and improves performance.

Access to information about and control of VMs will be unavailable for part of this maintenance. Both customers and staff will be unable to provision, control, or view system details of VMs and related resources. No impact is expected to running VMs and support and billing systems will remain available for the entire window.

Some notable user-visible changes will occur in this upgrade:

The dashboard layout has been redesigned to move some stats to the right side of the screen.

When viewing lists of items, such as VMs, you can now customize which columns are shown.

A new "Service Catalog" option on the left menu provides buttons for creating supported resource types.

The template selection screen during VM creation has been redesigned.

The hostname and domain name are now separate fields during VM creation.

XFS is now supported as a file system type for Linux VM disks.

It is now possible to temporarily reassign a disk from one VM to another for data transfer or recovery purposes.

There are some new features added in this release which will not be enabled immediately upon upgrade. We will provide additional information to customers if and when we decide to enable any of these in the future.
